The School Auction Quilt Idea.

How it should look.(Photo source, www.thelongthread.com)

I've been very lazy...in terms of blogging. It feels as if I've been on a headless chicken marathon these last two months. There was the school's Walk & Run to organize, as I am part of the parents' committee (still can't quite decided if it was foolish decision made in haste or a wise one). BAMBI charity duties to attend to, the BAMBI Adoption Support Group morning coffee to attend. The latter gave me a bit of a nightmare as I was the only coordinator there.

Normally, Monique, my very strong and confident partner would be there to attend to many of the queries and worries. That morning I found myself alone and quite certain that state would not change. I really didn't feel I had the pulling power that Monique possessed. But I was wrong. Hooray to that!

Anyways, here's another Goliath effort to get this blog ball rolling. I thought I'd share a gorgeous idea I stumbled upon that you could initiate in your kids' school - the school auction quilt.

Perhaps get the whole student body to partake in making the quilt, auction it off and channel the money to a charity organization. If that idea seems to gargantuan or having a collection of goods to auction off seem more appealing, here's another one. Why not get the kids to embroider a whole collection of household things like place mats, table runners, aprons...well the list could go on and on couldn't it?
